2.5

Ben Pulman, 15 June 2010 16:00

This is the new, US-spec Volkswagen Jetta, and it’s part of VW’s plans to triple its annual sales in America to 800,000 units by 2018. And to help its cause, the VW Jetta no longer shares any body panels with the Golf, so the bold claim being made is that this new model is ‘just as independent as a CC or a ...

VW announces Mk6 Golf prices

VW has released prices for the new Mk6 Golf, but while the new car was rushed into production to cut costs, none of these savings seem to have been passed onto the consumer – the base 1.4 S now starts at £13,150 – £870 more than the Mk5 entry-level Golf.

This is Volkswagen’s cleanest Mk6 Golf, a Bluemotion concept car that is claimed to achieve 74mpg while puffing out a paltry 99g/km.

A 1.6-litre common-rail diesel engine powers the new Golf Bluemotion, producing ...

2.5

Tom Richards, 06 August 2008 09:56

This is the sixth-generation Volkswagen Golf - officially unveiled today after a string of leaks - with new looks inspired by the Scirocco and a higher-quality interior. But underneath the new Golf's mildly warmed-over looks, the platform is still from the current Mk5 car. Are the Golf Mk6's visual nips and tucks, plus revised engines and new technology, enough to beat competition from ...

New VW Golf Mk6 (2008): leaked pictures

2.5

Ben Pulman, 04 August 2008 12:57

This is Volkswagen’s new Mk6 Golf, and these first pictures have been leaked onto the internet by a foreign website ahead of the new Golf's official unveiling later this week. Mechanical details are still scant but it's clear that in the looks department the Scirocco has had a small influence. At best though, the Golf Mk6's design could only be described ...

Volkswagen Jetta Sportwagon TDI

Phil McNamara, 31 October 2007 11:17

What's that: a cool and understated Golf wagon? You'd better believe it. And it's more than a modified Golf estate, it's the spearhead for Volkswagen's renewed diesel push into North America. VW knows that young car enthusiasts see the influential SEMA (Speciality Equipment Market Association) as the barometer of what's cool and happening. So by launching its new 2.0-litre TDI ...
